I got my Essure put in February 28 2013 . Three months after my third child was born. I lost all baby weight in that time and had stopped bleeding. I was on birth control Depo until procedure was done. I had the procedure done and the same day I started bleeding again. I am still bleeding up to this day. I have gained weight back from pregnancy and look like I am six-month pregnant.
The symptoms were not severe until the last 3 or 4 weeks. I wake up every morning with a severe headache that last most of the day. My legs continuously hurt all of the time now which it was not like this before. I have major lower back pain. My lower abdomen Is bloated for the last week and is tender. I have stabbing pains in the spots where my ovaries and tubes are. I am nauseous all the time. Now I try to use a tampon, but it hurts so much I almost cry. I was told this would be better than tubal ligation but I was wrong. I go to doctor to find out if they have migrated or something. I want Essure out. I should have gone with tubal ligation.
